Ⅰ.[2019·怀柔二模] 完形填空
I worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I also helped clear off the tables when it was busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a 1 on the floor near one of the tables. I thought I should have 2 it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time. Also I imagined that if the wallet contained anything 3 , the owner should be back.
Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him what the lost wallet looked like, and after he described it 4 , I gave the wallet to him. He expressed his true thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”, he immediately opened it and 5 that it contained nearly $800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me. I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your 6 , young girl,” he said and then turned away.
Thinking about it later, I began 7 whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might 8 it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything I could buy.

The Good Son
Once there was a jeweller, who was known as a good man. People always bought jewelries from him.
One day, a rich man and his wife came to buy some diamonds(钻石) which would be put on a special dress for their mother. She would wear it for her eightieth-birthday party.
The couple told the jeweller what they wanted, and offered him an honest price. He replied that he could not let them see the jewels at that moment, and asked them to come back later. However, they wanted the diamonds without delay(耽搁). They also thought that the jeweller might be trying to get more money for the diamonds. So they offered him double, then three times, what the diamonds were worth. But he still refused to give them the diamonds. They went away, very angry.
Some hours after, the jeweller went to them and gave them the diamonds. They offered him the last price for the diamonds, which was three times what the diamonds were worth. But the jeweller said, “I will only accept the first price that you offered this morning.”
“Why, then, did you not sell us the diamonds right away?” they asked in surprise. He replied, “My father had the key to the box where the diamonds were kept. He was asleep, and I did not want to wake him. He is old and every hour of sleep does him good. For all the gold in the world, I would not disrespect my father or cause him discomfort.”
The couple were deeply moved by the man’s words, so the husband said to him, “You are so kind! Thanks for the lesson you taught us—honour your father and your mother. One day your own children will give you the same respect and love that you have shown.”

Yard Sales
Yard sales are popular in the US. They really got their start in shipyards in the early 1800s. Later in the 19th century the sales moved to community centers and really began to develop rapidly, until they became what we know them as today in the 1950s and 60s.
Yard sales might also be called garage (车库) sales. Whatever the name is, the activity is the same. People usually have yard sales in the yard or in the garage. They sell things they no longer want at yard sales. Over the years, many people’s houses fill up with objects. These objects are no longer useful to the first owner. Yet it seems wasteful to throw them away. When people move to a different house,they must make a decision about things. “Let’s have a yard sale,” they say. “Then we will not have to move the things we do not use anymore. And we can make a little money at the same time.”
The sellers usually put an announcement (公告) in a public place. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. Yard sales are very popular during weekends in warmer seasons. There can be almost two hundred yard sales around Washington, D.C. on one weekend.
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment(设备) is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs.
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be an old toy train or a painting of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. The most popular things to collect are small objects: old money, stamps, dolls, bottles, baseball cards, toys and advertising signs.
However, most people go to yard sales to buy an object simply because it costs so little. New things in stores cost more than some people can pay. So, they are happy to find a painting, a warm coat, or a chair for ten or fifteen dollars. Perhaps they find dishes for twenty dollars that would cost one hundred dollars in a store.
12.When did yard sales get their start?
13.What might yard sales also be called?
14.Where do yard sale sellers usually put the announcement?
15.How many yard sales can there be on one weekend around Washington, D.C.?
16.Why do Americans go to yard sales?
